What if you could give a child a better future? Inspire a great teacher to be even better? Place captivating books into the hands of more eager readers? Ensure the International School of Portland will be here for your great-grandchildren?

You can do all of this and more. When you make a gift to ISP’s endowment, you're taking the long view and creating new possibilities. You change lives. You give back. You protect a place you love. And, you create your legacy.

An endowment gift is a gift that keeps giving long into the future. Your contribution is invested by the school, and the perpetual income your gift generates benefits the people and program you choose to support – year after year.

The endowment is fundamental to ISP’s ability to plan for the long term and ensure funding in perpetuity for important activities like need-based student scholarships, teacher leadership and professional development, and student support activities. From families noting the endowment as a sign of long-term stability as they explore enrolling to graduating students who were able to be part of the school because of tuition support, the impact of ISP’s endowment is great and is set to grow!
